EP.93 Advice from a veteran senior
"Why don't you just stop accepting? You must be well aware that there is no hope of escape anyway, but how long are you planning to spend your life there?"
"noisy. Just ask!"
Hector and his companions were spending each day in prison while being possessed by demons.
Seeing them, the demons, including Beljebeauty, tried their best to convince them today, but their efforts ended up in vain as always.
The hero Hector and his companions who insisted that they would rather die than die, never work for the demons.
In this regard
There was an opinion between the commander of the corps and the Four Heavenly Kings that it would be better to give up on them and execute them, but in reality, the final decision was made.
The Demon King, who had the right to decide, was still expressing his strong opposition.
"anyway
We have plenty of time. On the other hand, it is not easy to find talented people like that. A strong man who can fight with more than a whistle with Samuel
Those who are capable enough to cause a fuss in that situation will definitely be able to use it greatly."
The Demon King's declaration that he will give generously to those who actually tried to kill him.
In this regard, the demons have been trying to convince them in some way or another, but their efforts have not yielded very good results even after several weeks have passed.
A party of warriors who do not blink an eye despite being tempted to let them enjoy high command and power, starting with enormous wealth.
It was a time when Belze Beauty's troubles only deepened even today in a situation where the demon king's order to convince them was not easily returned.
"Excuse me."
"yes? Warrior?"
A black warrior who appeared in front of Belzebeauty as she was about to leave the prison.
Then he said something to Belzebeauty, and Hector and his companions, who were watching, automatically began to frown.
"Hector... that guy must be... "
"Perhaps right. The black warrior who defeated us in an instant."
"Uh… I hope that fake warrior will come all the way here... "
"Maybe they came here to convince us too?"
In fact, the appearance of the black warrior who can be said to be the one who made them like this, they start to feel that the dirty feeling is getting more and more dirty.
immediately after that.
The black warrior in question began to approach them as it was, leaving Belzebeauty behind.
"It's been a while, how have you been?"
"Go away, you filthy demon."
"I don't have a story to share with someone who dares to name a hero."
At the words of the Black Champion, the warriors of the Brave Party stubbornly began to refuse to speak.
The purpose of convincing them was obvious anyway,
At the same time, even if it wasn't for that reason, I didn't want to have any conversation with Iza in front of me.
A being who is blaspheming the name of the hero, the most vicious and blasphemy.
To the extent that even talking with such a person is unpleasant in itself,
From then on, they decided not to answer anything the Black Champion had to say.
By the way…
"It's too much, no matter how you look at it, first of all, you're your senior, but you're treating me coldly like this."
- Close!
"line… ship?"
At the words that came out of the black warrior's mouth, they momentarily sharpened their teeth and began to express intense anger.
Even though I thought I would ignore the words of interest, the emotion of anger that came out automatically.
at that time…
"Come here, warrior."
"!"
"uh?"
A woman's voice is heard in their ears.
and immediately after that,
The face of the Hero Party, which had been expressing the emotion of anger just before, began to harden as it is.
"all… you are… west… no way?"
"I.. I can't… uh… how… How do you… "
The scene that began to appear in their eyes was truly astonishing to the Brave Party.
The appearance is shocking enough to make them forget even the existence of the black hero standing in front of their eyes.
It was a warrior of the former warrior party that they knew well.
It was a scene in which the elf paladin Amelda was standing in front of them with the body of a dark elf.
"ah… Amelda... How did this happen... "
"Hey… these filthy demons! How dare you guys corrupt Amelda!"
They express their deep anger at the ugly twist of the person they have longed for.
But the next moment.
Watching the scene that followed, Hector and his companions were caught in a deeper shock as they were.
"bruise! bruise! Nuclear, nuclear, nuclear!"
"! this… what else is this... "
"… .brown… Blas... west… Hopefully that... "
"Unbelievable… how… How did this happen... "
Another member of the hero's party that began to appear in their eyes.
Terra.
Seeing the beast crawling on the floor on all fours, looking like a dog, Bless, a member of the same beast race and longing for her, began to feel deeply frustrated.
With no reason left behind, Terra literally showed the form of the beast itself.
But…
The shock they received when they saw the two people who were members of the former warrior party like that.
The moment that followed, they began to see…
I was blown away by one shocking and even terrifying scene that I had never thought of.
Standing in the center of the two of them, a black warrior showing the feeling of being their leader.
He slowly began to take off the helmet he was wearing.
And then the bare face of the black warrior began to be seen in their eyes.
while figuring out what it is.
The four people who were there felt as if they had been hit in the back of the head with a hammer, and were unable to think for a moment.
and…
Towards them, the black warrior…
no,
The warrior Ellen, a former hero of the Hero Party, was chosen by the gods and known to save the world...
They looked down at their juniors as they were, and said in a calm voice.
"Personally, as a senior, I have some advice I would like to give to my juniors… . This is enough. Can you listen to me to some extent?"
"…"
The warriors of the current Brave Party just looked at him with a blank expression at the words of the former hero Ellen.
And looking at them like that.
The hero Ellen began to tell them the stories that had happened until now in a voice that was still calm and still filled with anger.
With the warriors of the Brave Party who betrayed themselves by passing over to the porters.
The situation in which I had to make an unavoidable choice...
And the story of him who improved his awareness of the existence of demons in the process.
*
"I don't know if he's doing well. He was so stubbornly opposed to holding hands with them."
"Don't worry, it will definitely work out."
Devil…
To be precise, to the question of the demon king who was walking with me in disguise as Esther, I answered with a confident smile on my lips.
Hector is trying to infiltrate the Falcon Empire with the current corps commander Shamuel and proceed with a conspiracy.
Although he was holding his co-workers hostage for insurance reasons, I had my own belief that he would do the job well.
Hector's face at that moment that is still unforgettable.
The story that the people called the Brave Party betrayed me and made these two guys with me like this seemed to come as quite a shock to him.
Of course, the story itself wasn't really that simple, but once you look at the results, we were nothing more than throwaways to the people called the Hero Party and the tribal union that supported it.
On the other hand, the demons who warmly (?) welcomed us who were abandoned like that have kept their trust in me until now, so my story was that I truly fell in love with them and became their companions.
'There were a lot of adaptations here and there, but what… As the conclusion is like this, I can't believe it either.'
Perhaps for him, the fact that I, who was a former warrior, had changed in this way was very decisive for him.
This is a fact that can be seen from the fact that he has been openly voicing his anger in the process of being interrogated and looking at me as a hero.
And, I asked Hector, who had turned around like this, to give him a mission that doubles as a test, and that was the current situation.
'It's not a 0 possibility, but it's probably not going to happen at all. In general, a guy with strong beliefs will definitely turn around once it is broken.'
It was the same logic as when a person who was usually kind turns black, he gets really scared.
Especially if it's a person who tends to be savvy.
After talking about Hector, the two of us slowly ended a walk that could be called a boring date and started heading into the castle.
"Then let's just dig it up here today."
"Yes, my lord. Then see you next time."
After saying those words, the Demon King is about to move towards the inside.
at that time,
I looked at her like that and said it cautiously with a little courage.
"I… Over there, my lord."
"… huh? What is it, warrior?"
"that is… I... if it's okay with you. Would you like to go somewhere else after this?"
"Different… place?"
A demon king who expresses a slight doubt about my words.
Regarding this, I started talking about something I've been thinking about for a while now.
As much as I already have a camouflage identity.
This time, we talked about what it would be like to go out of the castle.
EP.94 Start the mission.
Zodiacal Ullympus.
A place that can be called the undisputed political, cultural and military heartland of an empire with an enormous population of 500,000.
and at this moment.
Inside this great city was a group of people in robes moving cautiously.
"Everyone is here. Once you are here, you are safe."
"after… "
Bridge located in the heart of the city.
below it
Shortly after arriving, Hector, who had arrived here with the crowd, took his seat and followed him… to be precise
The other demons also sat down for a while and began to rest.
Some of them began to doze off in the aftermath of the non-stop forced march under intense tension for a long time. In addition, some remained vigilant about their surroundings without relaxing even in such a situation.
and,
Among the demons who were breathing like that, the general who led them, Samuel, asked a question to Hector in front of him with his characteristic dry voice.
"It's amazing, it's something I've felt all the way here, but how do you know about a place like this?"
It is inconspicuous because it is located under a huge bridge, and at the same time, it is inevitably poorly defended because many people are still passing right above it.
As he looked around at the appearance of this place, which could be said to be optimized for hiding literally, Samuel asked, and Hector said in a quiet voice, tearing up the jerky he had brought as food.
"I know these places well because I spent my childhood in back alleys. If you stole the bread and hid here, no one could find it."
"Hmm… Right. If there was a place like this, I would certainly have used it usefully. I think it would be perfect for hiding after stealing apples from the fruit vendor."
Samuel speaks in a tone that feels a little sympathetic to Hector's words.
At her words, Hector asked her with a slightly startled expression.
"That means… Does that mean that you were originally from commoners too?"
"To be precise, I came from a fallen aristocrat, but in reality, there is no difference as I have lived differently from the commoners."
"is it… After all, there is no big difference between commoners and nobles if there is no power to support them in the first place."
"After all, if you are hungry, you have to eat. When you are tired, you have to sleep the same."
So, feeling a sense of unity in the strange part, the two quietly began to continue their own story.
"If you go up a little further from here, you will find a huge port. When I looked around the area, I was able to find fish that I could eat in moderation surprisingly easily."
"It's a fish… It seems that he ate something quite precious. There was no such thing as a port in the village I was living in, so finding seafood was the star of the sky."
"Don't say that. Even if I think about it now, it is a terrible memory to live eating only half-rotten sardines every day for a day or two."
So, from the perspective of Hector, the memories of the past that were still not very pleasant, while from the perspective of Samuel, listening to surprisingly interesting stories.
The two were able to find some peace of mind with a big mission ahead of them for a while.
"Surprisingly, you seem to be able to talk a little bit. If there is a chance later, we will talk again."
"Don't do that. if there is a chance… please."
At the end of those words, Hector smiles faintly as he watches Samuel get up from his seat.
The two of them began to show their serious expressions again after a time when they were soaked in the emotions of the past for a while.
Asmodians who have successfully infiltrated the zodiac.
Now, as the sun began to set slowly, they had to start the task assigned to them.
*
The Imperial Castle located in the heart of Ullympus.
There, a group of servants were kneeling politely, looking at the person in front of them.
A person who exudes unique dignity and authority while sitting on a throne.
It has red scars on its face, and a presence that stands out for its aggressiveness at first glance.
Emperor Kratos III of the Falcon Empire
As the monarch who rules this land and a symbol of absolute power and power that reigned over this vast and powerful empire, he…
At this moment, he was looking at the ministers who were talking loudly in front of his eyes and frowned slightly.
"The resistance of the elves is harder than expected."
"It is said that the 3rd Corps tried to advance forcibly and suffered severe damage."
"The battle in the plains is always winning, but in the forest, we are always defeated. In this way, it is impossible to advance further."
"Uh… "
The war situation with the elves is flowing more difficult than you can imagine.
The ministers of the Empire were raising their voices of deep concern.
The war with the elves, which took place immediately after exhausting considerable power due to the Tribal Union War, was putting a considerable burden on the national power of the Falcon Empire, which was at its peak in history.
The fact that their national power was exhausted was similar to them, but nevertheless, the difference in the burden between the war of aggression and the war of defense was quite large.
Currently, a total of 70,000 Imperial troops are deployed to the Elf Kingdom.
It was not easy to maintain a supply line and send reinforcements to support them, and at the same time, the topography and geography were also in their favor.
The empire's mighty national power and an abundance of talented people somehow overcome these difficulties, but even that is just the status quo for now.
At this time, when the whole situation is turning erratically. Seeing the ministers expressing concern, the emperor…
Kratos III, also known as the Iron Lord. He said in a voice filled with a cold chill.
"So, in the end, what is the story you want to tell? Why don't we just negotiate with the elves without doing anything like this?"
"ah… no. It's not like that, but... "
"We are just in a bad situation, so let's take a break and discuss plans… "
"The trick? So, have there been any useful schemes that you have come up with so far? Even if we say that we do it every time, there are only voices that say that the situation is difficult and that the resistance of the enemies is not easy!"
"That… it… "
The ministers who could not say anything more at the emperor's cold rebuke.
at that time…
"your majesty."
In the midst of such a momentary silence, a voice suddenly began to be heard.
However, this was not a voice heard among the numerous ministers before the Emperor's eyes.
The voice was heard right next to the emperor.
One of the three knights of the Empire in charge of his escort.
It was from Achilles' mouth.
"If it's not excuse me, Your Majesty... is it okay if I tell you about the plan the warden has?"
"Hoo… Is there any way? Let's talk somewhere."
The emperor began to feel a little fresh after feeling stuffy among the ministers who had always shown an incompetent attitude.
Seeing him like that, Achilles began to talk about the 'plan' he had in a calm voice.
"Anyway, the current situation is difficult because the terrain of the Elven Kingdom is in the way. If we can solve this, it will not be difficult to achieve a victory unexpectedly."
"Yeah, but are you saying there's something you can do with the terrain?"
"Yes, there is, Your Majesty. Actually, I thought something like this would happen, so I prepared it for a long time... "
Achilles begins to show a cruel smile on his lips for a moment while talking about the plan he has prepared.
at that time…
-Kwagwagwang!!!!!!
"yes?"
"What… what?"
The next moment, a loud explosion suddenly began to be heard.
As a result, those who were in the castle began to be seized with embarrassment.
"What the hell is this? Where am I an explosion?"
"Lung... Your Majesty over there! Look over there!"
The emperor and the ministers began to look out the window at the words of a soldier.
It was black smoke rising from not far from the center of the ecliptic.
And, there was a bright red flame swirling between them.
"Isn't that the magic workshop?"
"It seems so. Could it be that another magic experiment failed?"
"I don't think it's on that level. That size... Obviously something big has happened."
Explosions in the Magic Workshop that have often occurred in the past.
However, at this moment, the scene they were seeing was quite different from those things.
It's not just an accident...
If you look at the appearance, it looks as if someone caused an explosion in part.
In response, the emperor ordered that the situation be investigated urgently, and at the same time, the soldiers who received the order tried to rush to the battlefield.
at that time…
"your majesty!"
"yes? You…"
"High priest Eileen. How are you... "
Eileen enters as if crossing a soldier just leaving for battle.
People questioned the fact that she, who should have been in Thebes, appeared here, but ignoring their gaze, Eileen went straight across the center of Daejeon without hesitation in front of the emperor.
and…
"your majesty. I've come here because I have something urgent to tell you, High Minister Eileen."
"What the hell is going on?"
An unexpected person who appeared at the same time as an unexpected event occurred.
With his head bowed to the emperor, who felt doubt about this,
Eileen began to open her mouth in a calm voice.
She went through... .
A story about the evil conspiracy of the wizarding kingdom.
EP.95 This is not an accident!
A wizard's workshop located in the center of the ecliptic.
This place, which sells potions and other medicines and magic tools, was practically a place like a huge powder store due to various poisonous drugs and attack scrolls.
Of course, the managers here were aware of such a situation.
Therefore, the wizard's workshop was always under strict management and maintained a strict atmosphere.
and at this moment,
At the entrance of the workshop, as always, many people were waiting to be checked in advance for permission to enter.
A checkpoint at the Magic Workshop in charge of determining whether dangerous items are brought in and, if necessary, confiscating them.
and at this moment.
There, a man wearing a thick robe was standing for checkpoint.
"Then the next person, please come in and show me your belongings."
The person who moves forward at the words of the person in charge of the inspection.
Then he casually laid down his pack in front of them, and those present there unpacked it and began to check its contents.
'Ummm... There's nothing special about it... '
What's inside is a food package and a book. And it was a proof of the witch's identity.
When the employee saw this, he naturally thought that Iza was a witch.
As witches from the wizarding kingdom come and go in the Falcon Empire, it is a normal thing, so there is no particular problem.
After finishing the inspection of the last thing, he looked at the 'witch' in front of him and said in a calm voice.
"There is nothing wrong with your belongings, witch. All that's left is to take off the robe for a moment to verify your identity, I'd appreciate it."
"…"
In fact, the person who seems to have no problem at the time of passing the main examination.
With that thought in mind, the checkpoint staff stared at the figure who took off his robe in front of him.
By the way…
"! shit like this... !"
In the next moment, a flurry of swear words suddenly came out of his mouth.
However, it was at that time when the people who were there were about to start to inform the outside of the situation in front of them.
-hook!
"Kuh-huh!""
A gigantic gauntlet that flew straight towards him.
As a result, the soldiers, including the staff, were swept away by the tremendous force without even thinking that they had to deal with something in that instantaneous moment.
-puck!
"Ugh!"
"Damn!"
The staff and soldiers are thrown to the floor as they are with a short, dull sound that is heard in an instant.
Visitors standing at the back of the sudden event screamed in fear and started running away to avoid being caught up in the situation.
On the other hand, the wizards and soldiers who were standing guard right in front of the checkpoint said in a ferocious voice with their weapons drawn as they were.
"You bastard! What the hell is this!"
"How dare you make a fuss over here!"
An unknown situation caused by an unknown person.
However, no matter what it was, they knew very well that once something went wrong in this gunpowder store, there would be an irreversible disaster.
Anyone who makes a fuss in such a dangerous place, even if it is a witch from the wizarding realm, should be executed in a summary manner.
So, the soldiers immediately tried to take action to punish this person who had committed reckless slaughter right in front of their eyes.
But…
-hook!
"!"
Just when they are about to approach the 'witch'.
He appeared in front of them in an instant, as if time had stopped.
and…
-Kwagwagwang!!!"
A huge shock wave generated at the same time as he swung his fist towards them.
As a result, the soldiers flew in vain, just like their previous colleagues, and fell to the ground.
Immediately after the soldiers who were guarding the entrance so neatly were stunned.
The witch entered the workshop with a ●△● face hidden under her robe without changing her expression.
And then, about 20 minutes later.
-Kwagwagwang!!!!
The wizard's workshop, which boasts a fairly large scale in the Empire, started to cause a huge explosion due to a sudden fire.
A huge mushroom cloud that was created when various magic drugs and attack magic stored inside continuously exploded.
And immediately after that, in the buildings in the area where the magic workshop was located, flames began to soar simultaneously.
Like…
It was as if someone had set fire to it in time.
*
"damn! Come on, turn off the lights! If it stays like this, everything will burn!"
"Oh, no! The fire is already so intense that it cannot be put out!"
Residents and soldiers working hard to put out the flames by any means with the hot flames in front of them.
However, in spite of their efforts, the red flames in front of them engulfed all directions as they were, and they rapidly expanded their power.
Perhaps it was due to the influence of magic in the magic workshop, the flame did not go out even when water was poured, and the speed of spreading was also several times faster than ordinary fire.
Eventually, the flames were extinguished only after burning an entire city section.
What seemed to represent the magnificence of the empire until just a few hours ago was utterly ashes.
In the meantime, the citizens were just looking at the end of this disastrous disaster with their bewildered expressions on their faces.
"The damage is serious… "
"I think so, General Achilles."
Achilles immediately rushed to investigate the case at the Emperor's command.
Usually, he was rather unassuming when it came to someone's sacrifice, but even that he had no choice but to frown automatically at the devastation he saw before his eyes.
The massive damage caused by the entire 5% of this gigantic ecliptic was blown away.
Whereby
The amount of property loss that occurred was unpredictable, and it was especially important to know that there were major facilities including the wizard's workshop.
Considering that, in the technical part, the damage would increase more exponentially.
'Among many places, this is the place... Is this a simple accident? Or someone as a part… '
As the exact situation was not yet fully understood, we could not be sure of anything.
However, from the position of investigating this situation, Achilles' intuition was speaking.
The fact is that this was by no means an accident.
"How many people have died?"
"That is… Fortunately, as far as I know, no one has died in the explosion right now. However, the number of injuries is so high that there is a possibility that there will be deaths in the future… "
"… That's right... "
Another unexpected word that came out of the subordinate's mouth.
Hearing this, Achilles also began to be convinced that this was not just an accident, but someone else's planned crime.
And, right after making a decision like that.
Achilles immediately turned around and began to leave.
"I have something to see. Don't ask me for the next day."
"yes? A..Where are you going all of a sudden?"
A subordinate who shows embarrassment at the sudden departure from his boss, who is in charge of the field.
Regarding this, Achilles uttered a word to him in a cold voice.
"I'm going to go catch the culprit. If someone asks a question, answer it that way."
"that… what is that... ruler… Wait a minute, General!"
Achilles jumped up on the roof in an instant and escaped the scene despite the cry of his subordinate with questioning.
Immediately after that, he, like High Priest Eileen, began to grasp the positions of the powerful in this area by using the ability that he also possesses, Magical Sensing.
'If more time passes and we gather the testimonies of eyewitnesses, the answer will come right away. However… If that happens, the criminals who did the work will be out of the way sooner or later. Previously… I catch them with my hands.'
Achilles was summoned to investigate the fire site, which was reluctant to do because of the emperor's orders.
However, if this wasn't just an accident but someone intentionally caused it, the story is a little different.
From his point of view, it can be said that he has come to terms with powerful people who have the ability to cause such a commotion.
Achilles then began to move according to the presence of the 'strong' who started to come into his sensing range with a smile of expectation on his lips.
'It seems that they are hiding their power, but there are still two very strong people. That would be fun. I can relax my body in a little while.'
*
"Are there any tracers?"
"There doesn't seem to be anything. No one can be seen with the naked eye right now."
"Still, keep looking. It is still not reassuring."
"Yes, Samuel!"
As soon as the mission is completed, the demons are quickly escaping.
However, they are currently being delayed a bit due to Hector's request that there be no casualties in the process.
Due to the fact that the demons were still within the realm of the emperor, they could not relax their tension and were concentrating on escaping as much as possible.
The city has already left, but buildings and farmland can still be seen everywhere.
They were running away into the forest in front of them with all their might, as there is a risk of being caught quickly if they are pursued in such a place.
Meanwhile…
In this situation. Hector said in her sincere voice, looking at Shamuel, moving almost side-by-side with her own.
"Thank you… For granting my unreasonable request."
"I know it well. It was a really, really unreasonable request. This debt must be paid back twice."
Samuel still answers Hector's words in a dry voice.
However, at this moment, seeing her like this, a smile came to Hector's lips.
Hector's claim that no matter how much he sided with the demons, he could not slaughter innocent citizens.
In response, Samuel insisted that the completion of the mission had priority, but he accepted his request.
other than her
As many witnesses as possible, it would be more advantageous to manipulate public opinion, so he said that he would follow along.
I had the feeling that I was taking care of myself.
'I'm not very good at expressing myself, but... She's a woman with a surprisingly warm corner.'
Thinking like that, Hector could not take his eyes off her charming face hidden in the helmet at this moment.
at that time…
"!"
"this… "
- Kwagwagwang!!!
In the next moment, a loud bang is suddenly heard.
Hector and the demons, who were moving forward, made a loud noise in front of their eyes as they saw the falling beings and began to get caught in deep tension.
"The author… Who are you?"
"… Achilles."
EP.96 The enemy is stronger than I thought Then...
Achilles, one of the three knights of the Empire that appeared in front of him.
To him, who was looking at me with cold eyes while holding a sword shining in silver and white,
A strong presence was felt enough to be recognized at a glance.
"That guy… It seems pretty strong."
"You got it right. That guy is one of the three knights of the Falcon Empire. When it comes to pure combat power, he is a strong person who has an upper hand than me."
"Hey… you're the 3rd Knight of the Empire… I've heard of it, but I didn't know that I would ever meet you here. This is going to be a lot of fun."
Even when he sees Achilles, one of the most powerful men in the Empire, Samuel is not at all discouraged.
Rather, at this moment, she could feel the strong fighting spirit that comes from the expectation of fighting the strong, but seeing her like that, Hector expressed deep concern.
"Don't be hasty. Again, the author is strong. You are not an enemy you can fight alone, with skills equal to mine."
"It doesn't matter though. There is one and we are more than one."
"Yeah, but… .?"
The words of Samuel who spoke very plainly.
At this, a question began to arise in Hector's mind.
"ah… No wait, that means now... Does that mean you won't have a 1:1 duel?"
"? This isn't a match, why are you doing such an asshole? In this situation, of course, Dagul is the correct answer."
"I… there… If that's the case, the pride of being a warrior… ."
"Find that kind of thing when you play in the arena. Right now, we are on an infiltration mission in the middle of the enemy line. Even if you lose your hair while searching for pride, no one praises you."
"Uh… "
Hector, who was at a loss for words to say, at the words of Shamuel, who accurately shredded the facts.
Seeing him like that, Samuel spoke again with a firm voice.
"When the chatter is over, raise your sword. At your request, you have worked hard to save dozens of human beings, but to this extent, you have no choice but to repay the principal and interest."
"… To say that the neck of one of the 3 Knights of the Empire is at the level of interest is a complete bad debt."
"Now do you know? It will be repaid from generation to generation forever."
Even in such a situation, Shamuel breathes magical power into the gauntlet while telling a story whether it is a joke or a serious one.
Seeing her like this, Hector involuntarily felt a little bit of tension, and smiled a little as it was.
'Also… The more I look at her, the more attractive she becomes.'
After that thought, Hector once again fixed his gaze on the enemy in front of him.
Meanwhile, looking at them like this, Achilles said with a cold smile on his lips.
"Looks like the last goodbye went well. Then, I will punish you for causing a disturbance in the Imperial Capital, and I will execute you on the spot."
With those words, Achelis began to radiate tremendous magical power from her body.
Seeing him like this, Samuel and Hector immediately prepared for battle and waited for his attack to come.
'If you attack in haste, you could end up in disappointment. Although we can say that the sum of the total power is advantageous, there is really no answer if we are torn apart from all walks of life... '
To be honest, Hector was still feeling concerned about whether he would be able to carry on this fight well, as he had never been able to come together.
Fortunately, this side is well aware of the opponent's current strength, while the other side is uncertain about its identity, let alone its strength.
Hector thought that if he aimed well at that loophole, he would have a good chance of winning.
at that time…
"!"
"laugh!"
At one moment, Aceles started flying towards this side with a tremendous speed.
Watching him run at an invisible speed like a shot arrow,
Samuel and Hector reflexively raised their weapons to block the attack.
and.
-visor!
"Uh… "
"ね!"
In an instant, a heavy feeling felt in their arms.
Despite being attacked by a simple passing attack, at this moment they were automatically frowned upon at the fact that they were more shocked than they thought.
"Hoo… I don't think they're more common than I thought to block this attack... ?"
Achilles speaks in a voice that feels a little admiration and leisure.
However, at that moment, Achilles felt a little embarrassed about the ensuing Sanghwa without knowing it.
- Kwagwagwang!!!
A gigantic gauntlet that flew straight away before his story was even finished.
Achilles stopped talking and had no choice but to defend it.
At the same time, a single sword strike started flying from behind him.
Achilles, who sensed this in a short time, twisted his body as it was, barely evading the attack coming in this direction, and then quickly pushed the gauntlet with his force, and then swung his sword in that position.
But.
-fault!
A character with a gauntlet who skillfully evades his counterattack despite his unexpected counterattack.
Achilles frowned slightly at the real-time evaluation of the opponent's power.
'These guys... It's stronger than I thought.'
There were only a handful of people in the Empire who possessed the ability to counterattack while blocking their own attacks with enormous magical power.
nevertheless
Despite this, these two were showing a level of strength that was hardly pushed against him. This made Achilles naturally
It was creating the result of raising the vigilance of the opponent.
The two of them show that they are never pushed back even in the ensuing battlefield.
Although there was some awkwardness in the linkage part of their joint attack, nevertheless Achilles felt things were going badly.
'What the hell is it?... At first glance, I think there was a story about witches sent from the Magic Kingdom. If so, maybe... Four horses?'
4 Ma Hee (魔姬)
A term referring to the 4 strongest witches that the Sorcerer Kingdom is proud of, it is presumed that they possess a power comparable to that of the 3 Knights of the Empire.
However, the identities of each of them were kept almost a secret, and the only known existence was Shud, who belonged to the Brave Party.
and at this moment.
When Achilles saw those who were fighting with him almost in a whistle, he naturally began to think of those strong men.
'It bothers me, if my opponent is two out of four horses, I can't guarantee victory. if it goes like this… '
He came expecting an opponent he could easily win, but the enemies were stronger than he thought.
Of course, if he was lucky here, Achilles might have had a chance to kill two of the four horses at once.
However, conversely, his life would end here if luck did not follow him, and Achilles realized that he had to choose soberly.
Do you want to win by gambling with a low probability?
Or will he step back and take safety?
And of course Achilles' decision in this regard...
"Haaaah!!!"
-Pak!
Achilles explodes a powerful force in an instant and pushes the two people in front of him.
Therefore, they were supposed to be 4 horses and started to distance themselves from Achilles, and seeing them, Achilles spoke with a cold voice.
"It's a lot more than I thought. Did you not know that you would meet such talented people here?"
"…"
The two of them didn't respond to Achilles' words and just looked at the movement of this place.
Regarding this, Achilles not only chewed on his own words and rushed, but also confirmed once again the fact that these two were not able to communicate in the first place.
"What good? With this in mind, with my special respect. I will do my best to deal with you guys!"
With those words, Achilles began to radiate golden magic that was different from before in an instant.
Two people who faced him.
Shamuel and Hector strengthened their defenses by raising their magical powers to prepare for a blow that was expected to follow immediately.
'Are you planning to charge with a high-speed sword like before?'
'He might be able to fly a sword so that he can't avoid it.'
They start counting the numbers until they think about how many numbers their opponent will put in their own way and at the same time how to counterattack.
at that time…
"!!! stomach… danger!"
"!!"
A thought flashed through Hector's brain for a moment.
So he started throwing his body at Samuel, who was standing on the side, with all his might.
There was something that flew toward Samuel one step faster than his actions.
that… A single golden spear protruding from Achelis' hand.
In an instant, Samuel began to feel goosebumps all over his body, who was trying to defend himself from the blow that contained enormous magical power that was virtually his power.
'this… This is dangerous... !!'
"Shit!"
and…
-Kwagwagwang!!!!
A loud roar resounded for a moment and a thick cloud of dust.
However, right after that, Achilles left the battlefield with all his remaining strength before seeing the results.
'If I was lucky with this, I would have killed at least one guy. Even if not, for now, retreat is the answer.'
Achilles never does anything reckless, always keeping the worst in mind.
For him, it was not right to gamble with his life.
As a result, he chose the path of escaping by pouring out his maximum power in an instant to incapacitate his opponent and then taking advantage of the gap.
Even so, it was also true that he had some expectations for the result as he flew his blows that poured out enough power to make a battle impossible today.
In the current situation where you have to run away,
I didn't have time to watch it, though.
EP.97 Make a decision for your empire!
A golden spear flying towards you.
The moment he saw it, Samuel knew instinctively.
I can't defend that.
If you stay like this, you will die.
However, in this momentary moment, there was no time to evade this attack for Samuel, who had a counterattack in mind with his defense on the spot.
In the end, all she could do was surrender herself to the slightest possibility and simply attempt to fend off the attack.
But just then...
"!"
"み!"
The shadow of a person standing in front of her as it is in the next moment.
So, for a moment, Samuel was caught in a deep embarrassment due to this unexpected situation.
and.
- Kwagwagwang!!!
Immediately after that, a loud explosion that shook the room.
However, there was a scene that was clearly visible to Samuel's eyes in the midst of these flashes and loud noises.
that…
The human who threw his whole body right in front of her and blocked the attack...
It looked like Hector.
*
Immediately after a momentary storm passed,
The demons, who had taken a step back according to the command, started running to the place where Samuel was in a hurry.
"nine… Commander, are you okay?"
"… Okay. Rather… Heal this person quickly."
Shamuel is showing a deep confusion that is not like her usual.
At this, her men rushed to the man whom Samuel was holding.
With his neck pierced, he poured blood and walked over to Hector.
"Cool! Cool!"
Hector was barely breathing, but at a glance, Hector was seriously injured.
As a result, the demons urgently followed the command of the commander and started working hard to save him somehow.
Demons who focus on recovering wounds by using their healing magic to the fullest and pouring out the potions they have.
As a result, Hector's wounds, which were seriously injured to the point of being life-threatening, were fortunately barely restored and the blood stopped as it was.
"Ugh… Ugh… Ugh… "
Hector was able to have a more comfortable face than before.
However, apart from barely saving his life. He was no longer able to maintain his consciousness due to excessive bleeding.
The sensation of automatically blurring in front of your eyes as your head spins.
Among them, his gaze finally turned to her, who was looking down at him throughout the treatment.
At this moment, she is trembling with a face that is a little different from usual ●_●.
Seeing that beautiful figure, Hector's lips finally had a slight smile.
*
"uh… What happened? wealth… The blood has definitely stopped, but why?"
"I seem to have fainted. Still, the Mac is normal, so you don't have to worry too much."
"that… then… go? If so, I'm glad... "
Samuel begins to feel a deep sense of relief at the words of his subordinate explaining the situation.
But immediately after that,
She soon realizes that she is a little overly emotional than usual.
After killing as many emotions as possible on his face, he began to return to his usual ●△● face.
"… Anyway. If it doesn't affect your life, that's it. We want to get out of here in Bali as much as we can, as we don't know when another pursuer will come."
"Yes, Commander."
After giving instructions to his subordinates, Samuel picks up Hector directly as it is.
Seeing her like this, the soldiers began to show a bit of embarrassment for a moment.
"Are you over there, Commander? There is no need for the commander to do it himself, if we bring it..."
"What are you talking about! I definitely said we should get out of here as soon as possible! I am the only one who can carry this man and move quickly in such a situation!"
At the words of his subordinates, Samuel raised his voice a little, not like her.
The soldiers, who were watching this, could not say anything more to the words of their superiors, and began to follow her as she was running from the front.
Even though she says so, I am puzzled by her stubbornness, who appears to be quite tired from the aftermath of the previous battle...
*
A large-scale fire incident in the zodiacal Ullympus occurred unexpectedly.
About the facts revealed in the course of a detailed investigation into this. The Emperor of the Falcon Empire and his servants felt deep anger and concern at the same time.
"What did I say? Wasn't it said that all this was the work of the Magic Kingdom? With my own eyes, I saw Shud, one of their four demons, roaming the territory of the Empire."
"Those who survived the fire make similar claims. Those who appeared in the magic workshop had a witch's mark in their belongings."
What happened earlier in Thebes,
And until this fire incident,
At this moment, these terrible things that directly threatened the security of the Empire were all pointing to the fact that the wizarding country was the culprit as a result of the investigation.
In the case of Thebes, it looked like demon tribes were doing the work, but in reality they were witches in disguise.
In the case of the Ullympus fire, it was already established that they were witches through eyewitness testimony.
"But that raises one question. Why did those who dared to hide their identities as demons in Thebes do something so obvious here in Ullympus?"
"That's the zodiac
The security is much stricter than that of Thebes, so it's not like that. What would happen if those who looked like demons showed up in this place?
He would have been immediately overpowered before he even tried to do anything. If the guys have been aiming for the Magic Workshop from the beginning, they can be less suspicious.
You may have chosen to use your identity."
"Uh… After all, the Magic Workshop area tends to have a lot of slack in security for the people of the Magic Kingdom."
People who are beginning to show an attitude of being convinced by High Priest Eileen's argument.
Seeing that opinions are being gathered that this incident is the work of the mage kingdom, which is trying to strike the back of the empire.
The emperor spoke in a quiet voice, with a deep sense of anger.
"Still, I hoped until the end. Is it really true? The mage king, he dared to take the burden and the empire… "
"your majesty. As I said before, the Demon King is a cunning person. He is the same person on the outside, but he is a person who has always been conspiring with insidious conspiracies."
"No matter how much I have a relationship with His Majesty, you must not trust him. Right now, in the last tribal union war, isn't there a story circulating that the demons secretly supported the demons?"
The servants pour out criticisms of the Magic Kingdom without hesitation, feeling that this is an opportunity.
Seeing them like this, the emperor was really upset, but the evidence was so clear that he had no choice but to accept their words.
'Overseer Aztas... Even so, Jim tried to believe in you until the end, but I don't think a four-year-old would dare to strike him in the back of the head like this... '
At that time, the emperor was trembling in anger, feeling the feeling of trust turning into hatred.
A person who quietly watched the situation among them.
Achilles began to open his mouth in a calm and clear voice.
"Once everyone
Calm down. Obviously, as the people here said, it's true that the magicians did something that wouldn't be cool even if they tore it up and killed it, but now
You have to keep an eye on the situation. No matter how angry you are, the Empire cannot wage war against the Magic Kingdom under the current circumstances.
Isn't it?"
"Uh… "
"Yeah, yes, but… "
At the words of Achilles, the servants suppressed their emotions and took a step back.
After that, Achilles, who drew people's attention like this, began to bring up the story he had in mind according to his calculations.
"your majesty. First
What we need to do is find out how the Magic Kingdom will react to this incident. Even so, they really
He wouldn't have done this with the intention of starting an all-out war with us. First of all, it would be better to send an envoy to the Magic Kingdom to find out the truth.
It's like."
"Ummm… I know what you mean."
"And at the same time, we're going to have to move as fast as we can during that conversation. As I said before. It's a quick way to wrap things up about elven kingdoms."
"As I said before… "
"under… But Prince Achilles. Isn't that too much?"
"Even though the victory or defeat of the war is at stake, if you do such a thing… "
The servants expressed deep embarrassment and concern in relation to the 'it' that Achilles had previously claimed.
However, about this, Achilles spoke to them in a cold voice while still having a straight face.
"mental
Dress up. You all know that now is not the time for us to question such things, right? If this is really the Magic Kingdom and the Elves
What would you do if there was a situation where you had to deal with the Kingdom at once?
"That… that… "
Achilles speaks of the worst situation that they can't afford even from their point of view.
People's faces began to harden as they were, and Achilles continued to speak firmly while looking at the emperor.
"your majesty. As a servant of this country, the warden does not want to leave any more threats to the country. Please allow it!"
Achilles speaks in a voice that does not waver.
Regarding this, the Emperor finally recognized that he had no choice, and spoke in a voice filled with bitterness.
"… I get it. Let us proceed as General Achilles said."
